"For one hour and 15 minutes, the ordinary provincial team from Falkirk played at the same level as Celtic. They were not worse. They led the game 1-0 and even Celtic's equalising goal came about by accident.

"Falkirk had chances to score more goals in that time and the only reason Celtic won is because of the physical attributes.

"The game was mostly quiet because even when Celtic were losing they seemed sure they would win. That is most likely the same scenario with every game they play in the SPL.

"In the final 15 or 20 minutes Celtic can trample on any team because of these fitness reasons, except, of course, Rangers.

"What I can say to everyone is Spartak is NOT Falkirk and that will not happen to us."
